Spring and Fall:
Okay, so let me just tell you that I'm not good at poems, they were always the thing in literature that gives me constant headaches and frustration. Reading the following, Spring and Fall, I realized the the headaches were once again coming! I remember in class when we were discussing how each stanza had it's own beat, and mood which made it a little better for me to read it. (it kind of sounded like a rap)
"Ah! As the heart grows older,
It will come to such sights colder.
By and by, nor a spare a sigh
Through the worlds of wanwood leafmeanl lie;
And yet you will weep and know why."
I really liked that part of the passage, I can picture Margaret giving up on whatever the situation was and just accepting it for what is was and that there's nothing she can do about it.
Overall, the poem was confusing in some aspects but they're so pretty to read and complicated and that's what appeals to me the most. I think I just need to read more and analyze each stanza, then I could be better at reading them and writing them.

So, after reading the packet and taking notes, I realized some things...
3) -Syntax is more for the reader and less for the story. Syntax deals with the pace of the story, people confuse it with diction, but diction is more about word choice.
-Narrator VS Author: Even though the author knows the story (obviously because they wrote the story), the narrator in most cases doesn't. We are experiencing the story with the narrator and unraveling and going through the journey with the narrator.
-Analyzing texts: Doing that is never simple, you as the reader have to have an idea, but you also need proof from the text to back your point up and deconstruct what the author/character is trying to say.
2) -I would like like to learn a lot more about syntax, I learned a little bit about it and I still need a little bit more help telling the difference between diction vs syntax.
-I'm also a little confused on how you could tell which words are classified as High, Neutral, and Low levels of diction.
1) -I think I can teach how to read analytically! I've been doing that the past three years in my English and Theatre classes.
